Living in today’s fast paced world, when is the last time you stopped to assess the state of your mental wellness? If you’re like most, you probably can’t remember. Maintaining strong mental wellness is just as important as staying healthy and physically fit.

We’ve explored exactly why maintaining a strong sense of mental wellness is important to a healthy lifestyle, as well as offer some tips and tricks you can use to boost your mental health and improve your overall sense of wellbeing.

The Importance of Mental Wellness

Mental wellness encompasses a balance of physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health. It’s about being aware of your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and knowing how to deal with stress and life’s changes. Suffering from poor mental wellness can negatively affect your life and those around you in a number of ways.

Stress and depression can greatly impact the way you interact with friends and family, as well as diminish your work and personal life happiness. When you let your mental state and sense of wellness get out of control, your appetite and energy levels can be affected as well, which exasperates the problem even further. This negative feedback loop prevents you from feeling your best and having the energy to take on the day.

This is why maintaining strong mental wellness can help you live a full, productive life in which you feel good about yourself and the relationships you have with others.

Tips & Tricks for Strong Mental Wellness

As a busy woman, it’s far too easy to get caught up with work and everyday life. You simply have to make time to do the things that make you happy. The next time you start planning your schedule, be sure to pencil in some personal time to read a book, sketch, meditate, spend time with your pet, or take a relaxing bath.

Is your diet as clean as it should be? Eating a healthy, balanced diet goes far beyond looking good. Bringing clean, nutritious food into your body can greatly affect your sense of balance and wellness. When your body doesn’t get all of the nutrients it needs, or you fill up on processed and/or sugary food, the hormones that control your mood and even thoughts can become unbalanced. Fill your diet with healthy vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, and high quality protein to keep your body and your brain as happy as possible.

Sometimes it just helps to have a roadmap of the goals you want to aim for. By setting your goals, be it career goals, fitness goals, or any other personal goal you want to achieve, in small easy steps, it can help to give you a sense of direction. Not only that, but as you check each bite-sized piece of your goal off, you’ll feel more accomplished and proud. Keep a journal or draw out a road map, and reward yourself as you accomplish each step. Achieving big goals can seem daunting, but breaking big goals up into much smaller, easier goals can put you in control and keep you motivated.

Sometimes You Need More

Sometimes, the worries and strains of life can be too much for one person to handle. Knowing that it’s ok to ask for help when you need it is an important part of protecting your sense of mental wellness. Additionally, some imbalances, like those caused by depression, are not based on any one situation or cause. At Women’s Mental Wellness, we provide you the time, kindness, and expertise you need to feel like your best and most balanced self, both now and for your future.

We’re excited to present our brand new website and all of the great features you’ll be able to find as you explore the different pages. It was important to us to have a website that portrays both our values and the way we enjoy helping patients navigate through the various obstacles that can come up throughout a woman’s life.

At Women’s Mental Wellness, we are a specialized mental healthcare practice specifically for women, by women. By focusing on creating a safe, non-judgemental environment, we work collaboratively with our patients to foster openness and develop the best personalized all around treatments for their particular needs.

From the Home page, you can get a nice overview of the website, services we offer, and even recent articles that get published on the blog. The About Us page is designed to give you a little more background information on both Dr. Miltenberger and Dr. Liland. Here you will be able to read more in-depth about their professional experience and training as it pertains to women’s mental health.

The Services page is where you will find all of the different treatment and counseling options that we offer, such as treatment depression, anxiety, OCD, grief and loss, relationship issues, infertility, life changes, and much more. General services are focused around psychotherapy and building a bond between our patients and doctors, so that you can feel more comfortable and open during your sessions.

Both the perinatal and infertility service pages are for women going through very specific times in their lives and the types of mental stress that occur during these periods. Both Dr. Miltenberger and Dr. Liland have extensive experience in these areas to provide complete collaborative treatment plans that help improve the quality of life of their patients.

As our blog continues to grow, you’ll be able to find informative and helpful articles and information on common health topics as they relate to a woman’s mental wellness and balance. If you find yourself needing a little extra guidance, we also provided additional online mental health information and counseling options that can be found on the Resources page.

The Workshop page is where we will post upcoming events that provide live learning opportunities and interactions with our doctors. At these events, you’ll be able to witness the way Women’s Mental Wellness operates and see for yourself the level of experience and care that we provide our patients.

Thanks for stopping by and we look forward to helping you any way we can.
